Private DMs, scantily clad students, and police: Meet the trans teacher who has parents alarmed
Chesapeake High School in Pasadena, MD waited months to suspend a transgender teacher after receiving video evidence of inappropriate behavior.
Libs of TikTok received shocking videos reportedly taken from inside the high school classroom.
In the footage from the Chesapeake High School history classroom, you can see students engaging in what appears to be sexual acts and a minor wearing a sexually inappropriate outfit on school grounds.
This type of behavior on school grounds would make any sane person ask, “what kind of institution would let students behave like this?” Libs of TikTok did some digging and the story gets worse.
Willa Hoard, who transitioned from a male, teaches social studies and runs the Gender & Sexuality Alliance (GSA) organization at Chesapeake High School in Pasadena, MD. A GSA is a
“student-run organizations that unite LGBTQ+ and allied youth to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their schools and communities. GSAs have evolved beyond their traditional role to serve as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth in middle schools and high schools, and have emerged as vehicles for deep social change related to racial, gender, and educational justice.”
Recently, parents took to Facebook after a student member of the GSA made a concerning social media post that claimed both students and teachers would be disciplined for “dead naming.” Dead naming is the term used to describe calling a transgender person by the name given to them at birth. The school reportedly deemed dead naming “sexual harassment.” When parents confronted the school about these “rules” they were told that disciplinary action for the listed offenses was discussed with the GSA and determined on a “case-by-case” basis.
Mrs. Rush, the mother of the student who made the post, was appalled when she saw the list of punishable offenses. “After my daughter joined the club her behavior began to change,” said Rush. “When I saw the Facebook posts I decided to go through her phone and computer.” This is when Mrs. Rush found not only a video of Hoard’s classroom but evidence that Hoard had been communicating with the students on several unofficial school platforms - Discord, Instagram, Facebook group messages, etc.
According to messages, Hoard was referred to as “mom” and was directing students to “carry on, be gay, and start a revolution.” Other messages encouraged the students cause “chaos”, making sure to remind the kids to “wash your face and hands.“
In one message Hoard is directing a student “LuLu” to reply to a Facebook comment with a picture of the principal, Mr. Yore, standing in front of Pride flags saying “this could be interesting.”
“This teacher and the GSA are basically running the school. They implemented the safe space, pressured the school into canceling Red, White, and Blue Day, and are targeting MAGA kids and the athletes.”
Unbeknownst to the parents, at the direction of the GSA, the school had deemed the back of Hoard’s classroom a “safe space” for LGBTQ+ students. This meant that at any time, whether in gym or algebra class, if a student said to a teacher that they needed a “safe space” they could go to Hoard’s room.
Multiple parents reached out to the principal as early as the spring of 2022 with Discord messages and video evidence of Hoard’s classroom. In the video, you can see two students grinding on each other while Hoard is teaching U.S. History. “The space space was a free-for-all”, according to one parent. Another video shows what appears to be one student sucking the stomach of another student while, once again, Hoard was teaching.
To get her daughter away from the GSA, Kristy Rush has withdrawn her daughter from the school. Rush has posted a number of statements regarding Hoard and the Gay Student Alliance on her Facebook page, including alleged videos of activity that occurs in Hoard’s classroom. Around the same time that Mrs. Rush began posting her concerns on Facebook, Hoard filed a peace order against her.
The order was recently dismissed, however, the harassment of Kristy Rush continues. GSA students stand outside the Rush’s home and local LGBTQ+ activists are intimidating her by reading list of names of other parents who agreed with her Facebook posts at school board meetings, labeling them transphobic. Hoard has now taken to encouraging members of the GSA to call the police to conduct wellness checks on her daughter, Lulu. On two separate occasions, the police came to the Rush’s home because calls were made to the police that her daughter was suicidal and had attempted to harm herself. Her daughter was simply sleeping.
Another parent at the school who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation told Libs of TikTok, “It is like [Hoard] is a cult leader and the school is either afraid or in on it.”
“We are afraid to speak out because the whole mob will come after us. But this is our kids’ school and we have to do something. I don’t want my kids to be allowed to leave class, where they are supposed to be learning, so they can go grind on their boyfriend/girlfriend,” said another parent.
Again, principal Yore had screenshots of messages and video evidence of the disturbing classroom behavior, and nothing was done until the video of the GSA end-of-year party, held after school in Hoard’s classroom, began circulating on Facebook.
Finally, on October 3, Mr. Yore sent a letter to parents stating that Hoard was not fired but on indefinite leave and would not be able to return to school property. The letter never addressed the allegations, why this was allowed to occur, or what corrective measures the school is taking to prevent this from happening again.
Currently, Hoard is still active on TikTok and has encouraged graduating students to message directly on Instagram.
This is so sick! The question is how to stop it. It boggles my mind that there apparently aren't any laws on the books that can be used to arrest/prosecute this teacher.
